The Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory Tour

"I was overwhelmed by the beauty and substance of [the] facility and the thoughtful planning that led to the creation of such a functional and unique space."

Theatre Factory Tour Attendee, 2026

Take a tour of one of the most unique, behind-the-scenes workspaces in the American theatre. The Thomas H. Kean Theatre Factory houses all the shops, costumes, props, and scenery needed to produce plays...plus much, much more! Located in Florham Park, NJ, our 50,000 sq. ft. site is an interactive museum; work of art; teaching tool; and actual workspace for scores of theatre artists. See how a play goes from page to stage, from beginning to end and experience the tour and building that never fail to amaze visitors. Tours can be booked by appointment and each tour is led by one of STNJ’s staff members. These tours are appropriate for both young people and adults and can also be accompanied by a post-tour lecture for an additional fee.

Factory Tours typically run two hours long. Adult tickets are $22 (including processing fee). Youth tickets are $14 (including processing fee).
